It’s not always about what you do while you’re present but about how you leave. DeWanna Bonner didn’t pack her bags and bounce from the Indiana Fever.

She vanished. No goodbye. No message. Not even a “thanks y’all.” Just nine games and gone. And now, Sophie Cunningham is calling her out, like she called out the s*x toy thrower at WNBA games. Sophie held nothing back.

It’s the kind of silence that echoes within the whole. But Cunningham chose to speak up.

Sophie Cunningham Says It Straight

Sophie Cunningham didn’t make any drama around it. She just mentioned the facts. Speaking on the Show Me Something podcast, she revealed that Bonner didn’t even drop a quick goodbye in the team’s group chat. “Nothing,” Cunningham said. “Not even a text.”

Bonner joined the Fever in the offseason, which raised a few questions. But teaming up with Caitlin Clark and Stephanie White looked like a smart play. Championship hopes. Bright lights. Good vibes.

But after just nine games, Bonner dipped. She took a sudden leave of absence, offered zero explanation, and never returned. The Fever removed her from the roster. Then she cleared waivers and signed with the Phoenix Mercury, her old team and the current home of her fiancé.

Fans in Indy didn’t forget. They booed Bonner hard when she returned last week. That didn’t sit well with Mercury star Kahleah Copper, who ripped the crowd for the noise.

Cunningham, though, she gets it. “Booing is normal,” she implied. It’s part of the game. Natisha Hiedeman and Courtney Williams even joked about it. “If you left Minnesota tomorrow, they would boo the s— out of you,” Hiedeman told Williams.

Bonner still hasn’t explained her exit. But she didn’t agree with all these and posted them on Instagram. “IN DUE TIME,” she wrote, saying the apologies should be just as loud as the disrespect.

But Cunningham was straightforward with the matter. She kept it calm and said there were no past issues between them. Still, she didn’t hide her surprise. Bonner ghosted everyone.

This isn’t some scandal. It’s not a takedown. It’s just the truth. And sometimes, the truth stings louder than boos from a home crowd you left behind.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
